Girls Who Love to Dance.

The factory whistles were sending
forth the shrill shrieks with which they
daily welcome the noon hour, says the
New York Mail and Express. when four
itinerant musicians hurried out of Sec
ond Avenue Elevated railroad train at
Forty second street. and almost fell
headlong down the long stairway that
led to the street. The smallest member
of the group carried a bass tuba nearly
as large as himself and was the first to
reach te IRA frma Needless of the pro-
gress of his fellows he ran toward Third
avenue as fast as his short. fat legs
would carry him. and finally stopped be-
fore big. four-story brick factory. To
unsling his battered instrument was the
work of a moment, and before anyone
of the others of the quartet arrived he
was at work sending forth the deep,
heavy tones of an oblgato on the theme
Johnny Get Your Gun" Presently the
big man with the yellow clarionet came
up, and taking up the melody distended
his fat cheeks until. as a bystander re-
marked, he looked like full moon in a
fit. The alto horn and cornet players
followed close behind the clarionet. and
while a crowd of young girls trooped
out of the building the band played
Stick to Your Mother, Tom" The
Siren Waltz" 'All for Her" and other
selections of the same class. For twenty
minutes or more was the footing and
screeching continued and then the musi-
clans gathered themselves up and started
down the street. Not penny had they
received, nor had they tried to collect
anything. What. then, meant this mid
day concert? Inquiry developed the
fact that the band played in front of the
same building three times a week. and
was paid by the girls employed in the
place once month While the music
played in the street the girls danced in
the factory. and in this way detied rule
of the establishment that no concertina
or tiutina music would be permitted in
the shop during the noon hour.
We used to have Il foreman who
played the accordion for us to dance by
every noon" said one of the girls. but
he was discharged and music was forbid
den in the place. Where there's will.
though there's a way. and now we dance
to the music of Zartowski's band instead
of the accordion. The boss cant pre-
vent Zartow>ki from playing in the
street. you know When Zartowski has
a picnic or turnverein entertainment TO
play for he sends up a hand organ in
place of his band"

Many and frequent were the artifices
and subterfuges resorted to by the Ia
dies in attendance to entrap the un-
guarded, and one after another stout
and discreet man went down before the
constant volley of artful linterrogations.
At last all fell out and paid the dime
chap whom nobody seemed to know.
He attended strictly to business, and
passed unheeded the jokes, gibes and
challenges. They quizzed him, but all
in vain. He wrestled with turkey and
grappled with the goose. He bailed
out the cranberry sauce with an un-
swerving hand, and he ate celery as the
scriptural vegetarian ate grasses; and.
finally, when he had finished his fifth
piece of pie, he whipped out pocket
slate and wrote on it in large and
legible hand, Il am deaf and dumb"
